When it comes to creating a comfortable, energy-efficient home or workspace, insulation is one of the most crucial investments you can make. And if you’re looking for a solution that checks all the boxes, Knauf ceiling insulation is a clear winner, and Summit Insulation stocks the product.

What makes Knauf different?

Knauf ceiling insulation is made from high-performance glass mineral wool, which consists of up to 80% recycled materials. This includes high-quality sand and recycled glass, combined with limestone and soda ash. This mixture is melted and spun into millions of fine, wool-like strands, then bound together using ECOSE® Technology, a revolutionary bio-based binder.

ECOSE® Technology: The natural choice

Unlike traditional glass wool insulation products that contain formaldehyde and other chemicals, ECOSE® Technology uses no added formaldehyde, no artificial colours, and no bleaches. This makes the insulation:

  • Pleasant to handle and install

  • No itch, no smell

  • Virtually dust-free

  • Better for indoor air quality

It also offers serious environmental advantages. ECOSE® Technology reduces energy consumption during manufacturing by up to 70% compared to traditional binders and cuts CO₂ emissions by up to 25%.

Safe and compliant

Safety is a top priority with Knauf. The insulation is rated EUROCLASS A1 (non-combustible) under BS EN 13501-1 and complies with various fire safety standards, including SANS 428:2012, SANS 10177-5 A, and SANS 10177-10 A1 (no flame spread). For added reassurance, a fire test report is available upon request.
